This program integrates the Development Plan for Education and intends expanding the school day by offering additional activities after school. The proclaimed intention is to reduce educational inequalities, to promote the value of cultural diversity and to ensure education quality. To do so, it induces the participation of civil society actors in mapping spaces for the operation of full-time education, in the management and provision of complementary activities. This is a qualitative study, supported by literature review and documentary analysis to demonstrate a focused policy based on the discourse of civil society participation as a mechanism for taking responsibility of the State which impacts on the quality of education need to be analyzed.

Keywords : Education Full Time; Public-Private Partnerships; Volunteering; Right to Education.
